I viscerally hated Diddy the minute I saw him in the “Mo’ Money, Mo Problems” video, when I was about five. He has big “smarmy mob lawyer” vibes – this is especially notable because I’ve rarely had an instinctive revulsion towards people. I wasn’t even aware of potential involvement in Tupac’s death until I was ~20 (I’m 29 now) or the abuse allegations until maybe three years ago, so I’ve been vindicated well beyond even my worst fears.
Jermaine Dupri always seemed like a rat to me, but this antipathy so far seems to be unfounded.
Blake Lively. I am a big fan of Gossip Girl. Her acting skills were poor in it and made it hard for me to indulge in. I also felt she was mean when I watched a video on YouTube when she asked a girl to leave her boyfriend and that was just a joke from her.
Definitely drake, living in Toronto as a woman born in the late 90s, you’d he an outlier if you haven’t met multiple girls 5-10 years your junior who are all coy about being, “friends” with drake. (Who is decades older than them)
The first time I ever heard Diddy’s voice was in a spoken word interlude in “Big Poppa” by Notorious B.I.G. He was saying something like, “Tell your friends… to call my friends… and we can be friends.” The way he delivered that last part sounded SO skeevy, even for a rap song. I hated him instantly.
Kanye. But I couldn’t have predicted how bad he’d be. I also had a bad feeling about Ice-T and look what a champ he still is … my gut instincts suck generally
There was this mystic/healer in Brazil called John of God( who appeared on Oprah) and I actually met him as my uncle was “healed” by him and befriended him. When I met him and looked down to see his gold Louis V belt and Rolex it seemed more of a devil kind of move. Turns out the guy had raped more than 300 women(including his daughter), murdered at least a couple people, and was an international Uranium dealer
Neil Gaiman. I love his writing but he always gave me the impression that he’d be a mega self important asshole. I’m actually pretty sad that I wasn’t wrong.
I just remember seeing that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were going to be in a movie together and I thought to myself this isn’t going to end well for Jennifer
John Hamm. We were watching something he was in and I said; I can’t explain it, but I really don’t like that guy. I remember him in bridesmaids. I thought he played a douche too well. My spouse said maybe he’s really nice in real life and is just a good actor. I said, good point!
Then I googled him and found out about the hazing. That’s not normal hazing. There is something wrong with that guy.
All the grandstanding making a big deal of his charitable videos rubbed me the wrong way. Like, why is this guy trying so hard to convince everyone what a nice guy he is?
Then the stories about his business practices and the filming issues with his version of squid games started coming out.
My grandfather was a well respected tailor back in the 90s/2000s in NYC and made a lot of custom suits for celebrities. He always told us that P. Diddy was the worst client he had, he was always late to pay if he even paid at all, he would have to have his people hunt Diddy’s down for payment.
So, it’s basically been fuck Diddy for as long as I could remember!
Kevin Spacey always gave me the ick. The first time I saw him in a movie was when we watched Pay it Forward in high school health class (don’t ask me why we were watching it), and I remember just getting super weird vibes. Then I saw American Beauty and I could never separate that character from the actor. He was always one of those actors that just seemed super creepy and likely to do something really inappropriate.
There was this guy in the 80s/90s whose brand was pretty much entirely “arrogant rich guy”. It was this weird thing where anyone with any sense knew he was a mediocrity, at best, in everything but pushing his personal brand, and it seemed like everyone knew that too. I once walked by a billboard in Atlantic City in the summer of 2000 with his huge face on it and the phrase “WELCOME TO MY WORLD” and I was like, JFC, I do not want that.
I was a teenager when Bieber shot to fame, and I remember seeing on YouTube this video of Diddy and JB, saying what “big brother Puff” was gunna do to/for him on their crazy weekend together or whatever. I’ve seen that freaked out confused face on a little boy before. Gave me the most major of icks.
I’ve been highly invested in how all this has played out over the last 10+ years.
Bill Cosby appeared at my college’s comedy concert when I was there. One of my best friends got to tour him around and talk to him beforehand. My friend was really shaken by the interaction. Said that Cosby hadn’t been drinking, but had all appearances of being drunk… Inappropriate comments, offputting behavior, weirdly lewd remarks. At this point, Bill Cosby was America’s favorite dad, but my friend told us that there was something very strange about him.
Anyhow, his concert was the same Bill Cosby we all saw on TV. I filed the whole interaction in the back of my mind until years later.
James Corden. Granted he’s not even in the same ballpark of bad as a lot of the names in this thread but when I read stories about him treating his staff horribly I can’t say I was surprised.
All of my friends were drinking the Kool Aid, and frankly so was everyone else back then, but even back in the day with buffy something just… Rubbed me the wrong way. I usually framed it as “his character dialogue is great but he can’t plot or direct his way out of a paper bag.” But in the back of my mind, it was something else. I couldn’t really put words to what.
After Justice League and the revelations that he is, in fact, a douchebag, it just sort of clicked into place for me.
He’s not a terrible human but I’ve always said Dave Grohl was not this super nice friendly relatable rocker everyone made him out to be and I feel like I have been proved right
I learned about Elon Musk from his fart huffing TV appearances. “There’s no way a billionaire spends his time working in a soup kitchen. Even if he did that’s infinitely less helpful than just buying people food” I thought to myself.
First true thing I learn about him is the OSHA violations. Immediately clocked him as an incompetent manchild.
Friends gave me shit for saying that and that the only thing his name was on the patent for was the charger ports that guaranteed they only worked with tesla cars, and the door handles that freeze over.
He gradually let his facade slip over the years, and more folks are realizing what a clown he is. The submarine situation. The tunnel you get stuck in in Vegas. The car that I can’t even decide which flaw is the funniest but also don’t want to just list the detrimental flaws of for the sake of not dragging this paragraph on for too long- aw shit.
Obviously now that’s on full display, and only the most embarrassing techbro dickriders and sad little nazis still have any respect for him. It’s too late though. He’s done so much damage that will take years to reverse, has all of our sensitive information, and more money and influence than he could ever do anything with.
On the one hand watching him ruin his reputation, humiliate himself constantly, and knowing how upset it makes him has been cathartic. On the other hand everything is so fucked.
Donald Trump. I remember friends trying to talk me into watching The Apprentice when it first began, and my trying to explain to them how Trump disgusted and annoyed me to the point that there was no way I could stand to watch the show. His kids also bothered me.
Hasn’t played out yet. But Joanna Gaines. I remember watching one of the first few episodes of their show and when chip was taking , her eyes went empty and cold also as if she wanted to rip him apart and her hatred for something was palpable. Something is not right w her.

The baby oil king
Kanye west
Russell Brand always gave me bad vibes.
I never thought I’d hate Snoop, he’s fucking dead to me now.
Kevin Spacey always gave me the ick.
Jeffrey Jones.
I hated seeing him pop up in stuff. I always felt like something was wrong with him.
And he’s a pedo.
Trump
Ellen
Elon Musk
Woody Allen. What a freak show and has never been charged for his horrific crimes.
Dr Disrespect
Bill Cosby
He always gave me the weirdo creep vibes to me and I ended up right

Russell Brand, but to be fair he didn’t try that hard to hide his sleaziness.
KATY PERRY
Blake Lively. I am a big fan of Gossip Girl. Her acting skills were poor in it and made it hard for me to indulge in. I also felt she was mean when I watched a video on YouTube when she asked a girl to leave her boyfriend and that was just a joke from her.
Josh Dugger. Saw him on tv around the time I was 13, maybe 14, and knew there was something off about him.
Mr. Beast 👎 Never liked that guy!
Oprah
Definitely drake, living in Toronto as a woman born in the late 90s, you’d he an outlier if you haven’t met multiple girls 5-10 years your junior who are all coy about being, “friends” with drake. (Who is decades older than them)

Ezra Miller
I hated Dan Schneider back in the mid-late 80’s when he was on Head of The Class. I was like 7-8 but knew there was something bad about that guy.
I have never had strong negative feelings about any other actor before or since
Jay Z and Beyoncé
Jimmy Saville. Something about the cheap tracksuits, terrible haircuts, excessive gold jewellery and fat cigars didn’t seem in any way normal.
Surrounding himself with shy teenage girls was somewhat of a red flag.
There were signs that Bill Cosby was a creep decades before the accusations finally came out.
Harvey Weinstein, I worked for Miramax way back when they were just starting out.
My dad always hated Aaron Rodgers, although it was entirely based on him having, as he calls them, “googly eyes”
He was right though.
Kanye. But I couldn’t have predicted how bad he’d be. I also had a bad feeling about Ice-T and look what a champ he still is … my gut instincts suck generally
The Duggars🤮
Jared Leto. And yeah, I was correct.
I’m not correct yet but Oprah is my number one suspect

Jlo and Beyoncé
I was not remotely surprised when Neil Gaiman was outed as a sex pest.
Neil Gaiman. I love his writing but he always gave me the impression that he’d be a mega self important asshole. I’m actually pretty sad that I wasn’t wrong.
Danny Masterson. Something was off about that dude.
Jared Fogle. Something about those dead eyes.
I just remember seeing that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were going to be in a movie together and I thought to myself this isn’t going to end well for Jennifer
Bobby Brown. I just knew he would be the end of Whitney Houston.
John Hamm. We were watching something he was in and I said; I can’t explain it, but I really don’t like that guy. I remember him in bridesmaids. I thought he played a douche too well. My spouse said maybe he’s really nice in real life and is just a good actor. I said, good point!

James Franco
I love telling this story!!!!
My grandfather was a well respected tailor back in the 90s/2000s in NYC and made a lot of custom suits for celebrities. He always told us that P. Diddy was the worst client he had, he was always late to pay if he even paid at all, he would have to have his people hunt Diddy’s down for payment.
So, it’s basically been fuck Diddy for as long as I could remember!
Diddy was a little too good in his role in Get Him to the Greek. Turns out it was autobiographical.
Dr. Phil. Always haaaated him and thought that as a “doctor”, the way he would demean and be dismissive of people was rage-inducing
R-Kelly. Even as a kid when “I Believe I Can Fly” came out and everyone loved him, he just made me so uncomfortable.
Ellen. My aunt loved her and I would tell her all the time that she’s just a bully that people think is charming.
Diddy and his dolphin teeth
Gary Glitter freaked me out when i was a child, turned out my instincts were spot on!
Danny Masterson, Russel Brand Diddy and Drake.
Something about Masterson that I just hated when he was on that 70’s show. Never found Hyde to be cool, just a prick.
Couldn’t stand Russell Brand during interviews. I’d last about 3 minutes until I had to switch it off.
Diddy just always came across as a fuckwit, as did Drake but Drake made me cringe more.
TJ Miller. From the first time I ever saw him I just knew he was legitimately insufferable and not just as a character.
Terrance Howard. This was way before all the stuff had come out about him.
He always just gave me the creeps.
Ashton Kutcher always seemed really fake to me. Turns out he is.
Oscar Pistorius
Kevin Spacey always gave me the ick. The first time I saw him in a movie was when we watched Pay it Forward in high school health class (don’t ask me why we were watching it), and I remember just getting super weird vibes. Then I saw American Beauty and I could never separate that character from the actor. He was always one of those actors that just seemed super creepy and likely to do something really inappropriate.

Anyway, I was right.
Ah, the feeling you describe is called “anselfreude” and sometimes “schadenleto”
Fucking DIDDY.

Chris D’elia. Dude literally played himself in workaholics and “you”
Trump, hated him since I was 7
Donald Trump. I remember friends trying to talk me into watching The Apprentice when it first began, and my trying to explain to them how Trump disgusted and annoyed me to the point that there was no way I could stand to watch the show. His kids also bothered me.
Trump. Hated him from knowing he existed in the late 80s
Alex Jones. Knew him personally in high school. I thought he’d be a serial killer. Wasn’t far off.
Hasn’t played out yet. But Joanna Gaines. I remember watching one of the first few episodes of their show and when chip was taking , her eyes went empty and cold also as if she wanted to rip him apart and her hatred for something was palpable. Something is not right w her.
Seriously? DJT has always been a sleeze.
Uh guys… Donald Trump was giving off New Jersey peacock vibes back in the 1980’s.
